West Ham United’s first-team players took a break from their busy festive schedule to spread the Christmas cheer among our young patients and staff this week.

Barts Health is taking a lead role in a national programme to find and support the next generation of talented women and people from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities to become non-executive directors in the NHS. 

The east end’s hospitals have been invaded by robotic surgeons – including the UK’s only dedicated robot treating the heart, lungs and chest – paving the way for a new robotics centre at Barts Health.

Seven departments at The Royal London and St Bartholomew’s hospitals will now be operating on patients using da vinci robots, thanks to £5.5m funding from Barts Charity.

Heart tissue can be imaged in real-time during keyhole procedures using a new optical ultrasound needle.

Newham University Hospital is inviting registered nurses interested in working at the hospital to meet and hear from current staff.
